Inflation is at near-record levels, supply chain issues abound, and many other factors will affect our ability to make sound financial decisions for our small businesses. During this disruption, it's hard to get straight answers about what is going on and why. Join us for a special event with an expert economist to answer all of your questions about the economy.
- What is going on with inflation - will the prices of everything keep going up?
- Is an economic downturn on the way?
- Is the war in Ukraine going to keep gas prices high and what other impacts might it cause?
- Is now a good time to invest in our business, or, should we be stacking up cash to weather a storm?
- How long will this last?
And, we'll take YOUR QUESTIONS to get the answers we need!
